Bahamasair becomes new ATR customer ordering 5 ATR '-600' aircraft

Bahamasair, the national flag carrier of Bahamas, has placed a firm order for 2 ATR 72-600s and 3 ATR 42-600s, thus becoming a new ATR customer. Bahamasair’s first ATRs will be delivered before the end of 2015. The new generation ATRs will replace ageing aircraft in Bahamasair’s fleet allowing the airline to solidify excellent passenger experience on both domestic and regional routes from the airline’s main base at Nassau. The 70-seat ATR 72-600s are the perfect solution to bolster and complement the airline’s current Boeing 737 fleet, while the 50-seat ATR 42-600s are very well adapted to connect Bahamas Islands.
